Why did korea choose to isolate itself in the 1500s

Because the country saw this isolation as a way of defending itself against foreign invasions and because they believed that its culture was superior.

Explanation:

Before being divided into two countries, chorea had already been isolated from the world in 1500 during the Choson dynasty. This isolation was made as a strategy of getting rid of foreign invasions (especially those made by China and Japan) and a way to protect the superiority of the Confucian culture.

one of the major compromises in the constitutional convention was between the small states and big states. the small states wanted each state to have the same number of representatives in congress. the big states wanted representation based on population.
